What's wrong with eBay? You're going to get one a lot cheaper there than iFixit or PBparts.com.

PowerBook parts stores are quite expensive. The ones that are actually reasonable or cheap are really bad. I'd go with eBay.

Do you need one for a 14" or a 12"?
Are they the same?
I may have one

One of my daughter's cats tore off some keys from her 14" iBook's keyboard about a year ago. I found a guy on the LEM Swap List who sold her a used replacement, but it had a slightly longer cable, which lumps up under the keyboard and makes it unusable. So even 14" iBooks are not all the same. She's been typing away on the broken keyboard all this time.
I thought I might get her a new keyboard that fits for Christmas. Seems to me recall a parts shop on line. . .
